| The T-54D plasma pistol was used extensively by the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] in October [[2558]]. It is also the preferred sidearm for [[Spartan-IV]] [[Olympia Vale]].{{Ref/Reuse|out10}} It is classified as a [[Requisition system|Common REQ]] and can be summoned in [[Warzone]] at Level 2 energy.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} | | The T-54D plasma pistol was used extensively by the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]] in October [[2558]]. It is also the preferred sidearm for [[Spartan-IV]] [[Olympia Vale]].<ref name="H5G"/> |
| ==== Type-54D variants ==== | | |
| * '''[[Spitfire]]''': The ''Spitfire'' is an improved T-54D produced by [[Kig-Yar]] armorers that features a faster rate of fire and reduced heat generated per shot.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} It is classified as an Uncommon REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 3 energy. It can also be found as the second [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|hidden weapon]] in the [[campaign]] on the level [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]].{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]}}
| | ====Spitfire==== |
| * '''[[Void's Tear]]''': The ''Void's Tear'' is an advanced T-54D that features overcharged shots that create an unstable gravimetric vortex by superheating exotic nuclear isomers. At the point of impact, the overcharged shot pulls in nearby objects and then explodes. Normal shots also yank back weapons they hit. A direct, fully charged shot where a [[Spartan]] is pulled into the blast will kill in a single hit. Unlike other Plasma Pistol variants and the [[Z-390 incineration cannon|Incineration Cannon]], keeping the ''Void's Tear'' charged for too long does not deplete the battery. It is classified as a Rare REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 4 energy.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

| * Can now be zoomed in with [[Smart scope]] to decrease reticle bloom.

| | ===Changes from Type-25 plasma pistol in ''Halo 2: Anniversary''=== |
| The Type-54 plasma pistol was one of [[Cut Halo 4 weapons|several weapons]] originally conceptualized and created for ''[[Halo 4]]'', but was never implemented in the final build.{{Ref/Twitter|Unseen_Halo|1485968216639905796|Corbin|Quote=My favorite pic from Halo 4's Development.

| | *Extensive visual redesign; this plasma pistol's barrels are curvier and look more like the [[Plasma Rifle]]'s barrels. |
| | *Can now be zoomed in with [[Smart scope]] to decrease reticule bloom. |
| | *Overcharges now track targets better if the player is "scoped-in," similar to the [[Type-56 Needler]]. |
| | *Is once again able to EMP vehicles. |
| | *Increased damage, killing a fully-shielded Spartan in 9 bolts. |
